In 2026, the work of two important Austrian artists of the 20th century will be on display. To mark the 100th birthday of the painter Hannes Schwarz (1926-2014), an overview of his work will be on display. An exhibition on the sculptor Josef Pillhofer (1921-2010) is being organised in parallel. The works of two central protagonists of Styrian art in the post-war period thus enter into a discourse: Hannes Schwarz's drawings, paintings and graphics are on display, while Josef Pillhofer's sculptural works, drawings, collages and a tapestry that has rarely been shown to date are on show.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t<section class=\"firepress-section firepress-content firepress-section--background firepress-section--background-beige\"\n\t\t\n\t\tdata-firepress-content\n\t\tdata-firepress-lightbox-group>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"firepress-content__inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"firepress-content__grid firepress-content__grid--one-half\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"firepress-content__box firepress-content__box--one\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"firepress-content__media\" data-firepress-sticky>\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"firepress-content__figure\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1024\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-3-1024x630.jpg\" class=\"firepress-content__image\" alt=\"Museum opening\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-3-1024x630.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-3-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-3-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-3-1536x945.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-3-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-3.jpg 1623w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"firepress-content__box firepress-content__box--two\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"prose\"><h5 class=\"heading-m line line-above line--gold\">Injured.

After early abstract works in the 1950s and experimental printing techniques from 1959 onwards, the vulnerable, deformed human figure became the focus of attention from the mid-1960s onwards. From around 1975, the series \u201eVerletzt\u201c (Injured) marked a turning point towards reduced, landscape-like pictorial spaces in which the exposure of the human being is thematised.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"admont-button admont-button--secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/en\/memorial-project-counterworlds\/\">Counterworlds memorial project - Hannes Schwarz (1926-2014)<\/a> \u00a0<a class=\"admont-button admont-button--secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/STA_Einladung-Vernissage-Verletzt_2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flyer Hannes Schwarz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t<section class=\"firepress-section firepress-content\"\n\t\t\n\t\tdata-firepress-content\n\t\tdata-firepress-lightbox-group>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"firepress-content__inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"firepress-content__grid firepress-content__grid--one-half\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"firepress-content__box firepress-content__box--one\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"prose\"><h5 class=\"heading-m line line-above line--gold\">Josef Pillhofer.

After studying in Graz and Vienna and a formative period in Paris, he developed an independent formal language between abstraction and figuration. His work, which deals intensively with space, structure and the human figure, is presented in Admont with selected works on loan from private collections.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"admont-button admont-button--secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/STA_Einladung-Vernissage-Pillhofer_2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flyer Josef Pillhofer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"firepress-content__box firepress-content__box--two\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gegenwartskunst-.mp4\" class=\"firepress-content__video firepress-content__media\" data-firepress-lightbox>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-6-1024x659.jpg\" class=\"firepress-content__image\" alt=\"Museum opening\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-6-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-6-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-6-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-6-1536x988.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-6-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museumseroeffnung-6.jpg 1641w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"overlay-dark\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"content-overlay\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"firepress-content__plaque\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"firepress-content__plaque-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><i class=\"fas fa-play firepress-content__icon\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"paragraph-m\">Play<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":39253,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-39264","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.6) -
